Regular price on this thing is 150$ and I haven't seen a sale on this for some weeks now.
I was in the market for one so this is a deal for me.
Looks like bhphotovideo has same price

I am amazed at how responsive my 1st gen shield is compared to my Xbox one x.
Such a great user experience with the shield and while both can stream 4K, one can do it a lot better than the other.
Try one out and see for yourself. Or maybe find a side-side comparison on UI navigation.
Not exaggerating, from the shield being off/standby, within about 3-5 seconds I can open Netflix, scroll to my latest show, select to play the episode, and the episode will be loaded and playing.
My Xbox will take at least 2-3x as long, even if already on. And of course maybe 10-20x as long if off.
These sales clearly indicate the tube version didn't sell like they thought it would. The Pro clearly is staying put at 199 because of consistent demand, so it seems.
The cheap but fluid GUI and function experience option in the interim would be the Firestick 4k. Aside from dealing w seeing ads in the GUI, it's the best bang for buck.. And being $25 w that code that runs the rest of the year, it's a great deal.

Thanks! 👍
I don't want to have to replace it because apps start lagging in 2-3 years.

Definitely wait for the Pro version. I waited on the 2017 for a few months and then it hit 139 minus Google checkout coupon.

I have a last gen shield too, but there are cheap alternatives now, sooooo... why? Yeah it can run a plex server I suppose, but it'd be a crappy one.

So i have live channels through HDhomerun + OTA antennae then just random network apps with netflix and plex for my own media.
